Proper Human Diet Q&A with Dr Berry

[@keto4lyfechristy773]

Keto to carnivore. 367 lbs and started keto July 19th, 2022. On August 2nd, 2023, went full on carnivore. Today, i weigh 222 lbs. I had 1st knee replacement surgery on February 14th, 2024, Valentines Day. Staying strict carnivore, and I am healing faster than my physical therapist said he has ever seen. Carnivore has changed my life, and my health has never been better. Dr. Berry definitely knows what he is saying.

[@BoyMom-s6f]

Is it true that eating processed foods the day before having bloodwork draw can affect the results?

[@keto4lyfechristy773]

@user-dp8tr3of1v I'm not a Dr. I would not have any idea. If it's been over 7 hrs before blood draw, it would be digested, and most work ups are fasting. Blood work is going to be the end result of what your lifestyle is like. So if your eating processed vs whole foods I can imagine it would definitely show in your result.

[@jhenyalovering41]

I had about a dozen curb balls thrown to me at work on Friday. I caught every single one. My anxiety is becoming a thing of the past on carnivore. OCD too is about 90% GONE. I first noticed that within the 5th month on carnivore. It was kind of funny, the sun came out and I rushed to the beach. I came home and my heart felt like it dropped into my stomach as I walked into my kitchen and saw both sides of the sink were full of dirty dishes. I literally thought someone broke in and used my kitchen. I LAUGHED so hard when I realized that mess was ALL MINE. Before carnivore I would NOT have left the house with all those dirty dishes in the sink! Going carnivore is one of the best decisions of my life! Thank you, Dr. Berry, for another great informative video.

I love this! I can’t count the times, especially with my kids that I said we need to do this work first then we can play, and we didn’t have time for the play. We did do fun things but I wish I had gotten my priorities straightened out. We do need to keep our homes clean, dishes done, but not to the exclusion of getting out in the sun and playing.💕

Hello friends. My dog died 2 days ago from stomach cancer. He only ate human food. He became sick and 2 weeks later he died. He was super happy and energetic just before he got sick. Please love your pets. They are so precious. Once they're gone you'll really feel an emptiness in your heart.

Thanks Dr Berry. I hit the like button as usual, but I'm not verbally spreading the word anymore. People get angry. They don't mean to. They're just defensive about their toasted mini wheats and pasta and bread and other pantry garbage. We all want to help people we love, but it sure is a fine line. I'm keeping my mouth shut.

My husband and I have decided to be a visual inspiration to people. We used to talk about carnivore, but people protect their carbs. Even diabetics with stage 3 kidney disease. They don't want to hear it and just continue their decline.

[@ShelleyBergstrom-ve8pg]

[@PudgyCurmudgeon]

I have the same problem. I think that some people are actually avoiding me now, even family. Most of them have become metabolic train wrecks. My wife thinks I am an idiot and argues that she eats all the crap that I refer to as "poison" and she is not overweight so how could that be? She, I am sure, is one of the people referred to as "TOFI" -Thin on the Outside, Fat on the Inside. I am 77 she is 73 and my skin looks a lot younger than hers. My 46 year old son is obviously metabolically dysfunctional and was recently put on a statin. He will not listen to a word I say about statins or cholesterol arguing that I am not a doctor. I send him links to research but I doubt he even bothers to even glance at them. I even pointed him to the Nick Norwitz Oreo experiment. We are both the same height but he has me by at least 75 pounds. I am fully mobile, no medications, no inflammation, no joint issues and do HIIT and weights. He has an expensive elliptical machine that is used as a convenient place to hang clothes and pile stuff on. I cannot get them to connect the dots - After all, the government wouldn't let corporate interests poison us for profit!

My hearing has gotten crazy good on keto. Sometimes I will hear someone whispering across the room. And I never knew my old house had so many weird noises 😂

[@computertooter]

I have been eating carnivore for about 3 years and I have no gallbladder. Yes, I deal with diarrhea on a daily basis but I don't experience explosive diarrhea nor do I have to be quick getting out of bed. I can go on long walks without worrying about where the bathrooms are. Lately I've been eating a little bit of fiber (usually Keto Chow or half an avocado) will keep my poop from being so watery. I am noticing that my diarrhea is a lot less severe the longer I stick to eating clean carnivore.

The osteoporosis question- After my first month on carnivore, and for approximately 2 months later, I had what felt just like growing pains in my long bones, my femur bones especially. It just went away gradually. Your question triggered the memory. I can’t say for sure it was my bones regenerating themselves but I sure was achy for a bit.

[@codystone5931]

It was likely a detox symptom. I had the same thing happen and it went away with time

[@Pinkorchid72]

Bones are made of protein! Your increased intake with carnivore gave your body the building blocks it needed to build up those bone matrix to strengthen them

@@jessef85when I was much younger it took me a year and a half to lose 110 lbs. no extra skin at that time. Fast forward 30 years and having to lose that same weight again due to eating again, I’ve now found carnivore to be the eating plan for as long as I can eat that way. Depending on if the powers that be keep destroying our food chain, will determine that. Dr. Is right on that one. So I’ve lost so far, in two months 20lbs. Coming off at a rate of two to three lbs a week right now. I have a total of 80lbs I need to lose, so I will see if my skin sags or not. Right now hard to tell. Plus I’ve had surgery in the stomach area where scaring is along the length of my lower area due to a complete hysterectomy. That also may cause skin sagging.

Dr Berry I accidentally came across your videos yet nothing is by accident, just wanted to say, in spite of a western diet all my life, with a good appreciation for Montreal SMOKED MEAT I grew up in Montreal....(I'm exactly 55 also as of Feb 28th 2024 - my diet turned more keto now turned way carnivore with eggs and dairy still allowed (I'm French and no longer feel guilty for liking BUTTER) lol just 3 weeks in, I also am feeling pretty young looking for my stressed out mostly a smoker's life - I quit cigarettes just a month prior to turning 50 ! (55 now) .... But Now I'm in charge of what I eat and you just make 100% sense to me, then good on me - I'm the odd one out in my family to take on something so "radical" - its just normal and you 100% makes sense to me like literally in every word you say - so thank you. I fight over isolation to some degree but it is the horrible anxiety and depression that has had me off work for a decade while like a lab-rat we experimented with 17 different medications over a decade - no wonder its taking time to get better - fyi I got off 8 years of regular clonazepam (Canadian klonopin) I stepped down gradually over a whole year from only 2mg to nothing but my mental health IS that sensitive so I respected the need to go very gradual. Now I'm week 3 carnivore, (I quit weed now as well with some permissiveness but 4 months no longer daily and maybe average total not even once a month - for now keeping that one little vice, I've also prior been hooked on stimulants etc glad to have regained control, I reckon this new lifestyle for me may pull me out of depression enough to hoping to get rid of depression so i can work on developing a social realm...so far so good, and i still love steak ! I can't afford it every day but honesty a good sized rib eye and some kind of tenderloin - I just enjoyed bison bites on a stick in air fryer and OMG ! I'd rather have a stick of that at the movies over popcorn any day :) just starting 4th week strict carnivore plus dairy, but finished icecream over first 2 nights then no more it was an occasional romance - I am feeling better and wanted to just share that I really want to teach my sister this - she is a yoga nut, she's shredded, better than I at 57 I'm 55 lol but I know she has REYNAUD'S any help on that with carnivore I wonder... I'm convinced some of her ailments slow to heal foot sprain for example takes her forever she is super petite and little boned - I still feel she would greatly benefit -thanks for all the info I've ear marked this one to share when i get some one on one time I'll pull the "if you love me dear older wiser (usually) sister.. you'll listen and ill pause and share on how its already helping depression 3 weeks noticeably unlike 17 psychiatric medications i all too willingly tried while on an extended health leave - you ROCK !

Hello, My name is Christine & I'm a 50-year-old woman who has found remission from chronic Rheumatoid Arthritis. I was on a weekly biologic injectible medication called "Enbrel," with other prescriptions like Celebrex, Methotrexate, Tramadol & even Prednisone at times. Having RA & taking these prescriptions continued to weaken my immune system, creating insulin resistance & obesity starting at the young age of 27 years old after a difficult pregnancy & birth. I was eating the Standard American Diet "SAD." Eating low-fat and high carbohydrate foods like plants, beans, legumes, pastas, rice, vegetables, fruit, seeds, nuts, oats, grains, sugar, seed oils & packaged processed foods. Following the standard recommendation of eating less food & exercise more that we all try to follow. I was sick of my joint pain, fatigue, inflammation & weighing over 220 lbs "size 18-20". So, I decided to start a high fat & whole foods ketogenic lifestyle in September 2019. I stopped eating all the low-fat & high carbohydrate foods I was previously eating. I've adjusted my eating to mainly carnivore "meat based." I love eating cow, pig, chicken, lamb, fish, seafood, eggs, butter & dairy. Occasionally, I'll have a small amount of berries or vegetables like onion, olives, cucumbers, sweet potato, or avocado "ketovore." These foods don't cause inflammation because I've done my own N=1 experiment on myself. Everyone is a little different. I also enjoy a variety of fasting depending on my hunger signals & activities. I don't drink alcohol but enjoy unsweetened sparkling water, filtered water, coffee & tea. This delicious & satiating way of eating has helped my continued weight loss of 60lbs, severe joint pain, body inflammation, chronic fatigue, weakness, and other metabolic health conditions like anxiety, high blood pressure & pre-diabetes. In April 2023, I started implementing lifting heavy weights, strength training & balance exercises 3-4 times a week. I love hiking, biking, RV camping & challenging myself physically & mentally. It has been a new life for me! You can seek your true health every day, starting with what you eat/drink & don't eat/drink. RA recovery is my "why" every day to continue living a healthy lifestyle. This is my amazing health journey. Thank you, Christine Peters

I think its a mistake to deal with "carbs" as if they were uniform. Glycemic carbs are not the same as non-glycemic carbs. A simple Carb count tells you very little. Cornstarch and cellulose are both carbs. One very glycemic, one non-glycemic. What the particular carb does matters. I am an insulin dependent type 1 and I drink 36 oz of coffee every morning. It might be 9 "carbs" but I know what 9 grams of glucose does. Coffee is not something I have to dose for.

At my yearly exam, my Dr told me to stop all the Vitamin D and fish oil supplements I had taken for years. Definitely, because of the sardines. They are a miracle.

Your thoughts on Dupixent, please. I was on it for two months. Bad side effects for me. Sticking with carnivore. ❤

[@kevanhess2105]

I will go for sitting in the pickup(BAKKIE IN SOUTH AFRICA, )for a sauna😂

I think Dr. Sten Ekberg is in the Atlanta, Georgia.

Thank you Dr Berry for your expertise and passion to educate. I have celiac and a host of related autoimmune issues, plus, soya, dairy, and other food allergies. I'm trying to do the carnivore diet with beef, bacon, eggs, but can't have butter to increase my fat intake. What can I add instead, please? I have to say, I was vegan for 8 years before all the gluten symptoms came back and I believe I was heading for metabolic syndrome. 2 days of carnivore and the symptoms had gone!!

[@janjohns9432]

Beef tallow, duck fat, lard..I ordered from Amazon

[@ChristyStoerm]

Thank you so much!

[@kalia4320]

Hi Dr. Berry - what you if have familial hyperlipedemia? I am curious what are people's numbers (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglycerides) after a year on a keto/carnivore food plan. Thanks!

[@Melodie007]

Thank you

[@aneta567]

My rosacea is much worse going carnivore, it's been almost a year. I'm so discouraged 😞

[@annikadjurberg6762]

You need to heal your gut

[@deborahcollins6983]

Strict carnivore? Double check your diet and meds. But it takes time to get rid of rosasea. And it might be your hormones! Get those checked!

[@theresehazen528]

If you are a member of the tribe, have one of the mentors have a deep conversation about you, your labs, supplements, and what might be causing this. I wish you the best to luck with your journey.

[@theresehazen528]

Do you know about oxalate dumping?

[@beefbased89]

Did you remove dairy?

[@edwinbickel]

@KenBerryMD have you done any Live Blood Cell Analysis micrographs on the PHD?

7:59am Orange Tx 63 T2d. Last A1C 7.1 one month prior:7.6. 15days carnivore/ketovore. Walk 45 minutes a day. Lost 35 lbs in year. Diabetic 17 years. Retinopathy diagnosed. Eye doc wants me 6.0 to 6.5 in next 3 months. Is this realistic ?

[@michelletrippi7782]

Been on carnivore since January...love it and have not had red meat in over 25 years. I have a diagnosis of fibromyalgia...any thoughts on why i still feel fatigued? What can i add more of to my diet?

[@PaulJames-uz5yl]

never thought to check for carbs in coffee....i drink filter black coffee all day at work....always thought it was carb free 🙂.....every day is a school day 🙂

[@janjohns9432]

It’s heavy cream in coffee

[@hektor6766]

The caffein elevates cortisol. Cortisol elevates blood pressure, increases blood sugar which in turn releases insulin. I had a regular bp of about 145/80 while drinking caffeinated coffee all day. I switched to decaf, and now my bp is around 122/78, and I'm losing that last little bit of stubborn belly fat. Pleasantly surprised that decaf tastes just like caffeinated coffee. As far as the carbs in coffee, it's a small amount that I personally am not concerned about. My non-sugar sweetener has as many carbs in it. I only occasionally eat leafy greens, so I rarely get to 20g of carbs/day.

[@robertmott9556]

I’m in the beginning stages of trying carnivore. How many eggs can you eat for breakfast on carnivore and can eggs be eaten every day?

[@deborahcollins6983]

As many as you want and everyday

[@Tutiwashername]

Way too go LL!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@zenaidaparungao102]

Dr Berry is it good to take dexamethasone? I have lung cancer and I only started me IVchemo last Feb15,2024 and the next session is on March 14,2024. However I prescribed by my oncologist dexamethasone 4mg to take 2 tabs before, during and after of my chemo. (March 13,14,15) I’m scared to take it for I know that it will affect my memory, etc.

[@serfinusa9532]

i forgot to ask should we be worried about antibiotic levels in non-organic meat & eggs creating dysbiosis in our digestive track.

[@Miss1776-ic5ic]

We raise our own meat. I would find a local farmer

[@sigiligus]

They recently cracked down on antibiotic abuse in farm animals. Not a huge issue like it was ten years ago.

[@deborahcollins6983]

No antibiotics in meat anymore by law

[@mikeinpcola5543]

Man, I missed it! Shucks! So i want to start carnivore in week or so, but not sure if my taking prilosec 20 mg/day will impede the absorption of all this protein and fat and/or cause other issues by going carnivore. Goal would be to lose 100 pounds and get off prilosec completely. Cant do it now for extra fat in abdominal area really does push contents back up throat. Thoughts anyone, or your similar experience? Thanks in advance.

[@JohnShaw-k8p]

I started November 24th 2023 292# today March 6 2024 I am 226# 🙂

[@Drew.Murdaugh]

I changed to the carnivore diet abruptly and I never got any diarrhea....... And I feel wonderful

[@ennkaljo184]

How about ganing weight and muscle mass back, which is lost due to long health problems?

[@JackHorn-k3t]

I ate a stir fry of chicken beef and shrimp with onion green and red peppers cooked with avacodo oil. And abacodo6 dip. Went in living rm sat down and fell off to sleep . woke up 1.30 min. Later. Why?

[@legewantes7099]

my sense of smell is much sharper now, since I eat more meat now... and less of everything else .
